We Need To Talk
Those are dreaded words, aren’t they? Don’t worry, I’m not breaking up with you, but we need to have a discussion about control and etiquette. Over the past couple days I’ve run into a few situations where I could only shake my head and try to be “nice”. Two involved dogs, and two involved kids.Continue reading “We Need To Talk”
Puppies and Containment
A whole load of typical “annoying” puppy behaviours can be drastically reduced when you implement proper containment strategies. I’ll allow myself to explain in the video below. ps. I do not mention house training as that’s a topic for another day, but containment can also help dramatically when dealing with house training. Happy training!
Leash Tension
Leash tension is something I see a lot and it gives your dog mixed or confusing messages. Often people add leash tension when walking and they don’t realize that they are even doing it, usually a habit from trying to hold a dog in place. Leash tension means you are holding your dog back, youContinue reading “Leash Tension”
A Little Secret About Dogs
Come here … a little closer. Little bit closer. I want to tell you a secret. A secret about dogs that you may or may not know. A secret that may help you understand your dog better while you are training … or dealing with issues. There are NO perfect dogs. There, I said it. ThereContinue reading “A Little Secret About Dogs”
Who Says it HAS to be That Way?

I don’t like naming and creating new problems and pickingContinue reading “Who Says it HAS to be That Way?”
Hand Feeding et al
I’ve been reviewing, in my mind, feeding, and all the specifics that people may tell you to do with it. The typical is; schedule feed, for puppies, three times a day, for adult dogs, once or twice a day. Never free feed. Stick your hand in the bowl while they’re eating (please DON’T DO THIS),Continue reading “Hand Feeding et al”
Puppy Classes
… and why I don’t like them. Or something like that. Don’t get me wrong, I love training puppies. Puppies are awesome little sponges that are a blast to work with, so fun, so innocent and in general, just hilarious. But I’m not a fan of puppy classes. I’m not a fan even though IContinue reading “Puppy Classes”
Why is Everyone in Such a Rush?
It’s a question that entered my mind this morning; why is everyone in such a rush for their dogs (and even their kids) to grow up or become mature? Maybe I contemplate this because I have more grey hairs now, and as you age you realize time goes by too quickly and you need toContinue reading “Why is Everyone in Such a Rush?”
Do You Do Stuff That Your Dog Likes?
Hang on, let me clarify. I don’t mean eating rabbit poop with them, or rolling in dead things or items of that nature, that would likely make you a psychopath. I mean, do you do stuff with your dog that is natural, that they actually enjoy? Things that dogs enjoy naturally are sniffing, eating rabbitContinue reading “Do You Do Stuff That Your Dog Likes?”
